IWM is a region of many ranges and as many valleys. To the west its ranges buttress the Darling Downs while to the east they form a formidable but discontinuous Coast Range. The valleys are flat and fertile. The Lockyer Valley has a nationwide reputation as a source of (QGSO) Office Statistician’s Queensland Government fresh vegetables and the Bremer, Fassifern and upper Logan valleys also support intensive agriculture. One of these valleys, the upper Logan centred on Beaudesert in the Scenic Rim Shire, lies to the east of the coastal ranges, separated from the coast by Mount Tambourine. This valley provides a corridor for the main coastal railway line heading south to Sydney and is connected to coastal SEQ by several main roads including the Mount Lindesay Highway.

    A Native Title Information Talk Delivered at Fernvale Futures on 22 February 2014. Tim Wishart Slide 1 I Acknowledge and Offer M

    A Native Title Information Talk Delivered at Fernvale Futures on 22 February 2014. Tim Wishart Slide 1 I acknowledge and offer my respect to the country on which we meet and to the Traditional Owners of this country and to their Old People and Elders. The organisation for which I work, Queensland South Native Title Services is a native title service provider recognised and funded by the Federal Government under the Native Title Act (1993). Slide 2 The area for which QSNTS has statutory recognition under the Native Title Act covers an area spanning Queensland, along the New South Wales border from the Coral Sea to the South Australian border, north to about 250 kilometres north of Mt Isa and running diagonally south eastwards to the coast, marginally south of Sarina. Slide 3 I ought to say that views and opinions expressed are mine and are not necessarily reflective of corporate views or policy of QSNTS. In this conversation I will refer to the Native Title Act as ‘the Act’. But in the consciousness of Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander society, the expression “the Act” is often a reference to The Aboriginal Protection and Restrictions of the Sale of Opium Act 1897. That legislation was an Act of the Queensland Parliament. As a result of dispersal, malnutrition, use of opium and diseases, all a consequence of European incursion into traditional lands coupled with the attempted genocide that came with that incursion, it was widely believed in Queensland that Aborigines were members of a 'dying race'. In 1894 pressure from some quarters of the community saw the Queensland Government commission Archibald Meston to look at what had conveniently, for the colonising power, become the plight of Aboriginal people.

  • Toowoomba Range Clearance Upgrade Works

    Toowoomba Range Clearance Upgrade Works

    Toowoomba Range Clearance Upgrade Works notice Queensland Rail is preparing for tunnel floor lowering works through 1 rail tunnels on the Toowoomba Range and Little Liverpool Range. This project is being undertaken to provide clearance for international standard size containers which will support the agricultural industry by enabling the transport of agricultural freight via rail from the Darling Downs and South West regions of Queensland through to the Port of Brisbane. In addition, works will also be carried out at two sites on the Toowoomba Range to secure identified sections of slope to enable the ongoing safe operation of rail traffic in this area. What is involved? During scheduled track closures in January and February 2017, Queensland Rail will undertake site investigation works at all 11 tunnel locations and two slope stabilisation sites. These works will involve visual inspections and drilling activities and will be undertaken from 6am to 6pm each day between: • Saturday 14 to Sunday 15 January • Friday 27 to Sunday 29 January • Saturday 25 to Sunday 26 February. Vehicles will be accessing the Toowoomba Range rail corridor via a number of locations including Murphys Creek Road (adjacent to Morleys Road), McCormack Drive and Donnellys Road. Following these site investigation works and upon completion of the project design, it is anticipated that major construction works will commence in mid-2017. Construction impacts Residents in close proximity to the rail corridor may experience an increase in noise during planned works. Queensland Rail apologises in advance for any temporary inconvenience generated by these works. Queensland Rail Limited ABN 71 132 Queensland Rail Limited Works location Nine of the 11 tunnels are located on the Toowoomba Range, indicated by blue arrows in the image below.

    OPERATORS’ MARKETING TOOLKIT VERSION 1: ISSUED 10TH JULY 2020 RIGHT NOW, AUSSIES ARE KEEN TO GET BACK OUT THERE From drought and bushfires to COVID-19, the challenges of the last 12 months have taught us all that – the things money can’t buy are the most important. Australians are now thinking differently about virtually every aspect of their lives; including how and where they holiday. They are prioritising spending time with the people they love, in places that make them feel alive, connected and enriched. OUR NEW CAMPAIGN With bushfire funding support from the Queensland and Australian Governments, we’re proud to launch the Scenic Rim’s biggest tourism campaign yet: This campaign creative strategy packages up the wealth of what our region and you, our wonderful tourism operators offer as a collective. It celebrates the abundance and richness we offer through our authentic people and places. This campaign proudly places us on par with, or above, other tourist regions. And, it differentiates us from our competitors. Significantly: you are a major part of this offering. Great operators and team players like you welcome our region’s visitors with open arms and set us apart. You are as much, if not more, a part of our authentic and generous visitor experience as our stunning, natural surrounds. WHY DO WE NEED THIS CAMPAIGN? AS A DESTINATION BRAND, THE SCENIC RIM ONLY CAME INTO EXISTENCE IN 2008 Our beautiful landscapes, the traditional lands of the Yugambeh people, have been around forever. But compared to the Great Barrier Reef, or Outback Queensland, the Scenic Rim region is a relatively new and emerging tourist destination brand.

ISSN 1440-4788 The decision to build the first railway in Queensland from Ipswich to the Darling Downs meant that railway workshops were required at Ipswich. The development of the Ipswich Railway Workshops site began with the original Ipwich Workshops site of 1864 which was adjacent to the Bremer River at North Ipswich. The first two major workshop buildings were iron and zinc structures imported from England in pre-fabricated form. Over the next few years, additional buildings including a brick store were constructed by local contractors.
